Cabinplant has more than 40 years of experience in supplying modular construction processing lines for virtually all types of commercial fish and shellfish. We deliver and install our lines all over the world. Cabinplant can supply complete processing lines for farmed warm water shrimp. A typical process flow of our processing line for warm-water shrimp is described below. • Reception of raw material. Shrimp from the ponds are discharged into a bulk feeder with chilled water (first in-first out). • Infeed to operators on deheading lines. The shrimp are weighed, filled into plastic trays and automatically covered with ice. • Manual de-heading on belt system designed for improved flow of both product and waste. • Grading of HSO (headless shell-on) followed by manual inspection. • Manual peeling. • Cooking by steam, either on a conveyor belt or by placing the shrimp in steel trays. • Chilling with water. • Freezing, either in blocks or IQF. • Glazing to protect the surface against oxidisation. • "Hardening" to secure the glaze. • Weighing and packing into bulk (bags or carton boxes) or retail packaging, e.g. bags, trays, etc. Benefits • High yield • Modular construction • Gentle handling of product • Few operators • Hygienic design • Integrated cooking and cooling • High capacity Capacity • 500 to 4000 kg/h Use • Warm water shrimp
